"You said she was imprisoned in a dungeon?"
When Wu heard the news conveyed by Schaefer, he stood up and rushed out.
"Your Highness." Schaefer stretched out his arm to block Wu's path.
"This is an order from Her Majesty the Queen."
"She neglected her duty and wandered around the castle instead of getting the brooch."
"During the heir selection period, her lack of self-restraint will cause a lot of trouble, so she is temporarily locked up in the dungeon."
"If you want to release her..."
Schaefer slowly raised his eyes and looked at Xiang Wu: "As long as you succeed in succeeding, everything in the castle will belong to you."
After Schaefer finished speaking, he turned around and left Wu's room.
"..."
Wu stood alone, his eyelids lowered, as silent as a dead lake that no longer flows.
Her Majesty the Queen has announced General Wu as the heir at the tea party just now.
The successor was announced at tea time in the garden.
No matter the time, place, or atmosphere at the time, it was inappropriate.
It was so casual that it frightened the nobles who came to the tea party.
But Her Majesty has always been like this. She likes to see them frightened but forced to submit to her power.
Wu doesn't have many ideas
The throne, Ore City... he doesn't care.
It's just that Her Majesty the Queen said that he is a good heir, so he will become the heir.
Two days to go.
After two days, he completes the inheritance ceremony and he can release Anxi.
Then, he will be trapped in this royal city forever...
Wu turned and looked out the window at the pale moon that was about to become full.
His heart was empty, with no expectations or enthusiasm. He just couldn't help but recall that Anxi had said that she would take him away.
"Knock knock!"
There was a sudden knock on the glass window.
Wu's eyes tightened and he immediately looked at the source of the sound.
In the lower left corner of the window, there is a small wooden hand knocking hard on the window.
"Her Majesty's doll?" Wu frowned.
These dolls have always been elusive and only obey Her Majesty the Queen's orders. Why did they come to him suddenly?
"Master Wu! Master Wu!" The baby outside the window yelled quietly and anxiously.
Wu walked to the window and pushed it open.
A doll with long black hair rolled in from the window on hands and knees and fell to the ground. It was No. 78.
"Ouch." The doll couldn't feel the pain, but No. 78 still screamed.
It climbed up from the floor, took out a small silver ring from its skirt, raised it above its head and showed it to Wu: "The master asked me to give it to you."
"Master?" Wu was confused, "Is it Her Majesty the Queen?"
"No." No. 78 shook his head, "It's Miss Anxi."
When Wu heard An Qian's name, he was stunned. He couldn't believe that the doll would obey An Qian's arrangement.
"Master Wu, don't you want it?" No. 78 said in a low voice, "But the master said that he must hand it over..."
Before No. 78 finished speaking, the small ring he was holding was snatched away by Wu.
"Is it... a ring?" Wu was even more surprised.
"Yes." No. 78 nodded, "The master asked me to tell you that you must wear it on the day when you hold the succession ceremony."
"No." Wu shook his head.
No. 78 was surprised, thinking that Wu was refusing, and quickly tried to persuade him: "Master Wu, this is..."
Unexpectedly, Wu directly put the ring on his ring finger, his eyes were shining and he continued: "I will wear it all the time, and I will never take it off until I die."
"Oh, that's good. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
Wu's crazy look scared No. 78 and took several steps back.
He retreated to the window and climbed out of the window.
…
…
Inside the dungeon.
The place that should have been dark and lightless was now lit with a few candles, emitting a warm orange light, which was actually a bit warm.
"Master!!" No. 78 ran in from the door.
"Oh, No. 78 is back."
Anxi put down the spoon and swallowed the last mouthful of tomato and beef soup, then looked at No. 78: "Has the stuff been delivered?"
"Delivered!" No. 78 replied happily: "And Mr. Wu has already put it on!"
"That's good." Anxi stuffed another piece of bread into her mouth.
No. 26 put away Anxi's clean plate. Wearing a small suit and looking like a butler, he ordered: "You shouldn't eat so much at night."
Anxi chewed the bread and replied: "Oh, the last bite."
After she took No. 26 under her command, she asked him to find No. 34 and No. 78.
Anxi didn't think about escaping from the dungeon. As she said, the castle had a complicated terrain and was guarded by paintings and sculptures everywhere. It would be very difficult to escape.
And if she escapes, Wu will be dead.
Wu still doesn't know that the so-called inheritance is actually the queen's intention to take over his body.
So what she has to do now is to destroy this soul replacement ceremony from the root.
According to the information gathered by the dolls, the inheritance ceremony will be in two days.
During this period, she stayed in the dungeon, pretending to be helpless and weak, so that the queen could relax her vigilance.
"Master, send me a message on the 34th and ask: When will it come back?"
The gems in No. 26's eyes suddenly flashed, and he turned around and asked Anxi.
Anxi replied: "Let it spin a few more times to test the new functions I gave you. Don't let it fall apart when the time comes."
"yes."
Anxi added a new function to these dolls, monitoring and real-time communication. The three dolls can share what they see in each other's eyes.
The Queen hangs portraits everywhere to monitor them, so it’s okay for her to get a movable camera, right?
The dolls are small and familiar with the castle. They can cleverly avoid the surveillance of the portraits. Even if they cannot avoid it, the Queen will not have any doubts about the dolls she is familiar with. After all, these dolls always like to wander around.
"No. 34 asked me to convey: It has been shopping for two hours, why should it be allowed to roam? Why can No. 26 and No. 78 take a rest!"
No. 26 spoke out No. 34’s complaints in a calm tone.
Anxi picked up the apple and gnawed on it, then replied: "Let it wander around, and don't complain."
"yes."
No. 26 replied, and then repeated what Anxi just said to No. 34.
"Ah! I'm so annoyed!!"
From a distance, it seemed that No. 34’s frantic shouting could be heard.
